Marmite,

Follow each thread from the beginning, mark everything down on a piece of paper. There was a Marguerita on the 1891 (cousin), and on the 1901 (step daughter) residing with Lucy Fairbrass (1891) and Tripp in 1901.

If you recall I found two possible records for Lucy Toole in 1881; one was a boarder (unemployed school mistress) and one listed as governess residing with parents Frances and Margaret Toole. Also listed residing with the family was a Margaret Tripp, age 19, niece.

Now, it's possible that Lucy Toole was listed twice (her parents may have listed her on their census). You need to write everything down on a piece of paper--you are getting confused with all this information that we/I have provided you. Now, you need to sort it all out, think about what records you need to obtain to confirm the information that regards to your family.

Good luck!

If Margueritte was Lucy's neice Lucy has to be a sister or been married to some one related to Thomas.

My suggestion would be to begin obtaining copies of the above vital records (births, marriages) in order to put this all into place.

Thomas' parents were both from Cornwall maybe his mother was a Toole?you haven't found her maiden name yet.
Also it wasn't uncommon for first cousins to marry.I helped some one a while back and discovered an uncle married his neice!!!!

Possible birth record of the Margaret Trip found on the 1881 census, listed as niece to Francis and Margaret Toole. Somehow the Toole and Tripp families are connected.

Just been reading through this thread and notice you mention a Francis William??? Where does he come into it?

Samspade

Samspade Report 7 Nov 2008 17:31

Margarita Tripp was Thomas and Agnes's daughter.
So perhaps there is a Tripp /Toole marriage before Thomas and Lucy?

Marmite

Marmite Report 7 Nov 2008 17:30

she was a daughter or so I thought Margaretta Elizabeth Tripp ???
